I have a Murray 38'' riding lawn mower with a Peerless transmission on it that is stuck. I cannot get the gear shifter to move at all. What do you think could be causing this? And also, I tried to split the transmission, but had no luck. I was not able to pry the transmission case apart. Is there anything holding it together other than the bolts around the edges? Transmission is a Peerless and the tag numbers on it are: 930 012 5014 0209 Any info would be great. Thanks. I can get a model number of the mower if needed, but I think you will just need the Peerless numbers, since there is nothing wrong with the mower itself.
I tried the chisel on it and had no luck. the only thing that was left on it was the pulley on the input shaft, and I can not get the darn thing off. It is rusted on pretty good and stuck like crazy. I have it soaking with some lubricant right now and will try to get it off. other than that, I wouldn't know what is keeping it together.

it only does it when I am going downhill, it works fine the rest of the time. I recently installed a drive belt, but it has worked fine since then, other than when I go downhill, the transmission will not shift, but will work the rest of the timeit only does it when I am going downhill, it works fine the rest of the time.

Make sure all attachments are off the outside of the unit. If all bolts are out then if you have not try a chisel all the way around the case very carefully as it is usually stuck by the sealant that seals the unit.lol.donnyb60
That pulley has to come off. Try some heat also. If the pulley is tight to the case thats what's holding it. Look at it close there may be something else. donnyb60
There should be a couple of dowel pins in the case but with a chisel very carefully you should start to see the case starting to split.That pulley has to come off. Try some heat also. If the pulley is tight to the case thats what's holding it. Look at it close there may be something else. donnyb60

Safety and Preparation
Serious injury can occur if the engine or mower blades accidentally start while you are working with lawn tractors. To prevent this, drive the Murray lawn tractor onto a flat work surface and disengage the mowing deck cutting blades. Engage the parking brake to keep the mower from moving; chock the wheels with a wooden block or brick. Adjust the mowing deck to the lowest position. Turn off the engine and remove the key from the ignition. While not necessary, you may even wish to disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Mowing Deck Removal
You must remove the mowing deck on a Murray lawn tractor to gain access to the belts. Remove the adjustment rod hairpins, followed by the adjustment rod pins from the front left and right sides of the mowing deck. At the rear on the left and right sides, pull out the retaining hairpins and slide the mowing deck suspension links from the adjuster plates to separate the rear mowing deck from the frame. Remove the blade control rod stud, including the hairpin and washer, from the top of the blade control lever shift linkage at the left rear of the deck. Remove the front hanger rod, including the hairpin and flat washer that hold the rod in place. Loosen the belt guide retaining bolts with a socket wrench and remove the engine stack pulley belt so you can slide the mower deck out from under the tractor
Transmission Drive Belt Installation
Slide the new transmission drive belt between the engine stack pulley belt guides, over the belt guide plate and under the engine stack pulley. Fit the transmission drive belt around the top engine stack pulley. Push the free end of the transmission drive belt up through the transmission shifter hole in the lawn tractor floorboard. Slip the transmission drive belt loop over the transmission shifter. Pull the transmission drive belt down through the transmission shifter hole. Fit the transmission drive belt around the transmission drive pulley and tighten the transmission drive pulley belt guide retaining bolts to hold it in place. Fit the transmission drive belt flat side around the idler pulley. Slide the idler pulley onto the idler pulley stud while holding the belt in place. Tighten the transmission idler pulley retaining nut with a socket wrench to secure the idler pulley to the idler pulley stud.
Mowing Deck Drive Belt Installation
Pull back on the right side mowing deck mandrel pulley spring-tensioned belt retainer. Guide the new mowing deck drive belt around the right side mandrel pulley and release the belt retainer. Pull the drive belt spring-tensioned retainer away from the mowing deck idler pulley, guiding the deck drive belt around the idler pulley. Fit the mowing deck drive belt around the left side mandrel pulley and under the rear mowing deck cross link rod between the right and left side mandrel pulley. Slide the mowing deck under the right side lawn tractor frame, reconnecting the deck to the frame in reverse order of removal. Engage and disengage the mower deck while driving the mower to test the belt for proper operation.
it has a manual peerless transmission with the brake attached it has broken a gear in the transmission attached to the brake you will have to take it in but it would be better to buy a new one the other is to old
There is an official Tecumseh/Peerless motion drive system manual available, which deals with the strip-down and rebuild of all current and recent transmissions. Parts availability MAY be a problem, however, not to mention that internal transmission parts are EXPENSIVE. A set of shift keys and bearings + time will just about equal the cost of a new transmission.
i have a craftman mower and it wont go in gear dont now if it is the rodes thats making it not go in gear or the trans bad do i have to be sitting on the seat for it to go in

Thanks for the help. I have had so much going on lately, so I just let my friend fix it for me.
